That's not what he said.

the way to go if you can. Best value out there. Except for the wheels, do you need any other upgrades? It would be cheaper in the long run. Personally, I would get the upgrade bug with the 105, gossamer, rs10 on the 10-5. I understand not being able to swing the extra $ though. I've got a Synapse 5 in the garage now.
But I already upgraded the cranks to Red's for $200 and am looking at a way to get Rival or Force derailleurs and shifters
Just dump the RS10's someday and you will have a mid 16lb, rides like a CAAD, shifts like Sram bike.
